I asked for long curtain bangs and long, subtle layers and i even told her before she started cutting that i did not want her to go any shorter than the tip of my nose and i also only asked for 2 inches cut off. She cut me bangs up to my eyebrows, cut AT LEAST 4 inches off, and made the layers so choppy. One side was also shorter than the other. If you go to get a hair cut and the person cutting is a young person with dark hair and dark makeup, ASK FOR ANOTHER PERSON. this haircut ruined my self confidence.

The 5 stars are because of the service and attention I received from Melissa. I had gone to the salon earlier in the day for a hair color from another stylist and was not happy with the color that was done. I wanted a dark auburn and somehow ended up with a bright orange. Needless to say I was very unhappy and called back to get it corrected. When I arrived Melissa took the time to ask me questions, had me look up pictures to show her the color I wanted, and made suggestions to get the desired color.
She did not rush me along and made sure I was happy with the results. Never have I had a colorist take so much time to make sure that the color was what I had originally wanted. While I had felt a bit uncomfortable and was a bit apprehensive upon returning for the appointment Melissa took the time to reassure me that she would do all that she had to to get the color I wanted. I never write reviews but felt compelled to write this as Melissa turned a negative experience into a positive one and because of the time and care she took with me I will most definitely be returning to the salon to see her.

I want to say thank you to Kate for doing such an amazing job on my hair the day of my wedding in October of 2020! She did such a beautiful job for me and my family that one of my sisters planned on not getting hers done and then saw Kates outstanding work and asked her to squeeze her in also! Kate is kind, enjoyable, and soooo talented. She understood my vision and added her professional touch for the perfect hair style.
Thank you for being so reliable and making my special day easy and fun! Everyone loved their hair and felt confident and beautiful because of you! And my hair held perfectly all day even in the crazy wind on top of a mountain for our ceremony!
